Perfectly balanced between minimalism and sophistication, nude makeup is a versatile choice that works both for everyday wear and special occasions—just like the glazed look, another current favorite that revolves around a fresh, radiant finish.

Azulejo allure
For its new spring-summer collection, Tales of Ocean & Lights, Artdeco drew inspiration from the south and the enchanting world of Portuguese tile art. The striking blue-and-white patterns of the azulejos were chosen to give the limited edition packaging an artistic touch. Combined with trendy shades of blue, rosé, nude, and white, they instantly bring a summery vibe.
Liquid highlighter
The Pune Highlight Cream delivers the oh-so-trendy glazed effect, instantly brightening the complexion with a radiant glow. The highlighter can be applied alone, locally, or together with your foundation. Additionally, this liquid highlighter is perfect for mixing with your body lotion for a subtle glow on the skin. Suitable for all skin types.

Juicy lips
This season, M.A.C’s ultimate shine products are the Squirt Glosses and the Strobe Dewy Skin Tints. The Squirt Glosses give your lips an ultra-glossy finish and a subtle plumping effect—perfect for achieving sexy, juicy lips. The Simulation shade in the range is highly versatile, ideal for everyday wear, whether alone or layered over your favorite lip combo. The Strobe Dewy Skin Tints are, in turn, a game-changer for a luminous, dewy complexion. The formula is not only lightweight and hydrating but also contains pearl pigments that diffuse light and blur imperfections. For an extra touch, try applying a lighter shade to the high points of your face for a soft, creamy highlight that seamlessly blends into the skin.
A mesh on the skin
Skin Illusion Full Coverage is Clarins’ new high-coverage foundation, designed to withstand the emotions of everyday life. Thanks to [SKIN FIT TECHNOLOGY], which forms a three-dimensional plant-based mesh on the skin, it adapts to every expression, emotion, and movement of the face, ensuring a flawless makeup result. This foundation creates a perfectly even complexion without a mask-like effect, reduces shine, and delivers a radiant yet matte finish that lasts all day. With both makeup and skincare benefits, the formula acts as a true care concentrate, enhancing the skin’s beauty day by day while reducing imperfections.
Glazed nails
After soap nails, glazed nails are the latest nail trend, emphasizing the beauty of the hands while enhancing the natural shine of the nails. This icy finish with pearlescent reflections—fresh and light—creates smooth, glossy nails that give the hands a healthy and well-groomed appearance. How to achieve Glazed Nails? The choice of color depends on the desired effect. For Glazed Donut Nails, a sheer nail polish in pink or nude tones is used. For Glazed Latte Nails, a brown-toned polish serves as the perfect base. Manucurist offers stunning options to achieve this look.
